What does STUB mean in Scrabble?
noun
A short remaining piece of something after most of it has been used, cut off, or torn away.
A stub is what is left when the useful or original part of an object is gone: a pencil worn down to a stub, a cigarette pressed out to a stub in an ashtray, or a ticket stub kept as proof of admission after the main part is torn off. As a verb, to stub means to strike the toe painfully against something. Both noun and verb keep the idea of a short, blunt end.
